Many of those industries have high attrition and burn-out.

Are you the CEO/founder? It sounded like the author is, and I think that would make it a lot harder.

I read the article, came back to your comment, and really have no idea what your comment has to do with the article. You'd probably have fewer downvotes if you explained what part of the article you think you're replying to. (I di

OT, but I use Firefox and have not found that to be universally the case. But on this website, it definitely does and I really appreciate it!

Just add a section under "Is Creddle Right for me?" with "Short and long-term goals for this project." Then write a paragraph or two on why you're doing it, who you are, where you're going, etc. If you're

Lots of people enjoy shopping, so this isn't as obviously bad of an idea as some of the comments here imply. Open question whether this will be more like "hanging out at the mall" or "watching QVC."

We do this in math too: ∑_{i=1,...,n} x_i is a lot more readable than x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + ... + x_n. (Underscore means "subscript" here.)

IIRC, there were attempts at communication before the 2 years of work.

I obviously don't know the context in the email, but those are both slightly pejorative. "Common" isn't. "Committee-driven Markdown" might have worked :).

I think you're reading into it. I read the comments as "straighten this out early so you're not sued later." edit: and the replies to "I'm tired after work" seem to be "do your own stuff first and be

That seems like a much, much bigger threat in this case.

Not everyone does :)

Everyone is still free to implement their own version. But it seems like many of the people behind the biggest implementations would rather agree on a standard.

Of course, there's Mosteller's reply: “It’s easy to lie with statistics, but it’s easier to lie without them.”

If your point is that all branches of statistics are built on the same axiomatic foundations of probability, of course I agree. > To respond to your question about sample size, I'd have to look into some of the details of your ques

I've studied probability theory, maybe more than you. I like it. But nothing from probability theory suggests why "size" and "power" might be useful properties in test statistics. Without other ideas like those, doi

Re 3: I think it's likely that there are diminishing returns the longer you present material the same way, and that switching it up makes students more interested. When I read that part, I assumed they were talking about the individual

Nothing about this reply makes me reconsider labeling it "naive frequentism." I think you'll find that it's hard to do even bread-and-butter statistical tasks like deciding how many subjects to include in a randomized tr

...and now you have a naive version of frequentist estimation.
